Internal Service Charges

Gareth Bacon: Is it possible to provide details of all internal service charges within the GLA for the last 3 years, broken down by directorate?

The Mayor: As part of the 2019-20 GLA budget setting process, an internal service charge was introduced for any new GLA posts which were approved in the period following that process; i.e. from April 2019. The charge was set at £6,000 per annum per post and covers the additional direct costs arising in the areas of Information Technology, Facilities Management and Human Resources from an increased GLA headcount. The additional budget provision arising from this new internal service charge for those three areas will be finalised at the in March 2020, once the additional headcount for 2019-20 is known.
